YouTuber PatMan QC has passed away 😔

  • Thank you for sharing this. Patman was a delight. He made some of the best "History of" videos for classic games.

    RIP Patman QC. He will be missed.

  • THANK YOU. I AM PLEASED TO JOIN THIS DISCUSSION AMONG FELLOW NON-ROBOTS.

    • Meetings? Pssh

  • The rule of cool helps with honesty too.

    My team knew well in advance that we would be short-staffed on the day the Switch 2 released.

    • What's something you immediately judge a person for when you see them wearing or have?

    Jump

  • " ((Candidate who Lost)) ((Previous Election Year))" bumper stickers after it has been a few years.

    It feels needlessly divisive.

    Although I saw a "Bob Dole '96" in the wild recently, and I kind of grudgingly admire that level of procrastination.

    • People who made a single terrible financial decision that still haunts you to this day - how did it happen?

    Jump

  • Tbf, the tsp by default I believe throws your money in a G fund which is basically bonds iirc.

    Most funds now default to a "target retirement date" type of fund that correctly offers stocks early and moves into bonds later.

    • Please settle a debate. A kid in the womb is better off listening to stuff like cat in the hat so it can be read to it at bedtime? Or history of the world during the womb and read it later?

    Jump

  • If you want my advice, talk to them constantly as if you are the narrator, and smile and make eye contact at every opportunity.

    This is great advice.

    I've always done this, and my kids all started talking surprisingly early.

    But my motive is just that it calms them.

    Some baby fussiness comes from insecurity, and I find that a running narration makes them more relaxed about being set down and returned to - that kind of thing.

    Basically they get the same comfort from my narration as I get from leaving the TV running when I'm alone in the house.

    I don't know (or worry about) if it really makes any serious long term difference - but it was occasionally convenient as heck when they could tell me what they wanted a bit earlier than I (or anyone) expected them to.

    With my last kid, I felt more brave and also mixed in some singing, and think they are more musically inclined because of it.

  • You've shared the real life hack.

    My kid was born with a love for the opening theme to "Star Trek: Enterprise", because we were bringe watching it while the kid was in the womb.

    Playing "Faith of the Heart" came in handy when the kid started teething.

    • Fake Opposition

  • I like the sound of "EmptyPromisesAboutTheWrongTopicsSocial" or maybe "StatusQuoKeepersSocial".

    • AI coders think they’re 20% faster — but they’re actually 19% slower

    Jump

  • But when a mid-tier or entry level dev can do 60% of what a senior can do, it’ll be a great way to cut costs.

    Same as how an entry level architect can build a building 60% as tall, and that'll last 60% as long, right?

    Edit: And an entry level aerospace engineer with AI assistance will build a plane that's 60% as good at not crashing.

    I'm not looking forward to the world I believe is coming...

  • Worth adding - let's all shop from unionized businesses whenever possible. There's strength in solidarity.

  • a) I would not be driving a car with my child in it if I was so tired that I would forget I had a child. The fuck?

    I hope you're thankful for a lifestyle where you have that option. We should all strive to build a world where everyone does.

    • I'm a stone mason, and I'm half way convinced that a fair portion of the posts here are at MOST five people. AMA?

  • Well shoot. We were aiming to create an impression of a big group of us - like if there were 40 or more of us.

  • I'm sorry you went through that. I'm glad you got your trapper keeper, though.

    • Why do people on Lemmy seem to be without personality, aka human touch?

    Jump

  • please stop taking absolutely everything as a permanent debate.

    But I think there's a case to be made that everything is a permanent debate. Let me just paste a quick wall of text here on the topic...

    Sorry. Just trying to make you laugh. I will see myself out.
